They understand that by removing limitations, we can solve problems faster and at a lower cost and, at the same time, become more agile. Without these people, the NoSQL movement wouldn’t have gained the critical mass it needed to get off the ground. Innovators and early adopters are the people within organizations who shake up the status quo by testing and evaluating new architectures. They initiate pilot projects and share their successes and failures with their peers. They use early versions of software and help shake out the bugs. They build new versions of NoSQL distributions from source and explore areas where new NoSQL solutions can be applied. They’re the people who give solution architects more options for solving business problems. We hope this book will help you to make the right choices. www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info brief contents PART 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................1 1 ■ NoSQL: It’s about making intelligent choices 3 2 ■ NoSQL concepts 15 PART 2 DATABASE PATTERNS .................................................. 35 3 ■ Foundational data architecture patterns 37 4 ■ NoSQL data architecture patterns 62 5 ■ Native XML databases 96 PART 3 NOSQL SOLUTIONS ..................................................125 6 ■ Using NoSQL to manage big data 127 7 ■ Finding information with NoSQL search 154 8 ■ Building high-availability solutions with NoSQL 172 9 ■ Increasing agility with NoSQL 192 PART 4 ADVANCED TOPICS ....................................................207 10 ■ NoSQL and functional programming 209 11 ■ Security: protecting data in your NoSQL systems 232 12 ■ Selecting the right NoSQL solution 254 vii www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info contents foreword xvii preface xix acknowledgments xxi about this book xxii PART 1 INTRODUCTION.................................................1 1 NoSQL: It’s about making intelligent choices 3 1.1 What is NoSQL?

  • QUERYING JSON and XML Performance Evaluation of Querying Tools for Offline-Enabled Web Applications
    QUERYING JSON AND XML Performance evaluation of querying tools for offline-enabled web applications Master Degree Project in Informatics One year Level 30 ECTS Spring term 2012 Adrian Hellström Supervisor: Henrik Gustavsson Examiner: Birgitta Lindström Querying JSON and XML Submitted by Adrian Hellström to the University of Skövde as a final year project towards the degree of M.Sc. in the School of Humanities and Informatics. The project has been supervised by Henrik Gustavsson. 2012-06-03 I hereby certify that all material in this final year project which is not my own work has been identified and that no work is included for which a degree has already been conferred on me. Signature: ___________________________________________ Abstract This article explores the viability of third-party JSON tools as an alternative to XML when an application requires querying and filtering of data, as well as how the application deviates between browsers. We examine and describe the querying alternatives as well as the technologies we worked with and used in the application. The application is built using HTML 5 features such as local storage and canvas, and is benchmarked in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. The application built is an animated infographical display that uses querying functions in JSON and XML to filter values from a dataset and then display them through the HTML5 canvas technology. The results were in favor of JSON and suggested that using third-party tools did not impact performance compared to native XML functions. In addition, the usage of JSON enabled easier development and cross-browser compatibility. Further research is proposed to examine document-based data filtering as well as investigating why performance deviated between toolsets.

  • A Platform-Independent Framework for Managing Geo-Referenced JSON Data Sets
    electronics Article J-CO: A Platform-Independent Framework for Managing Geo-Referenced JSON Data Sets Giuseppe Psaila * and Paolo Fosci Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering, University of Bergamo, 24044 Dalmine (BG), Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-035-205-2355 Abstract: Internet technology and mobile technology have enabled producing and diffusing massive data sets concerning almost every aspect of day-by-day life. Remarkable examples are social media and apps for volunteered information production, as well as Open Data portals on which public administrations publish authoritative and (often) geo-referenced data sets. In this context, JSON has become the most popular standard for representing and exchanging possibly geo-referenced data sets over the Internet.Analysts, wishing to manage, integrate and cross-analyze such data sets, need a framework that allows them to access possibly remote storage systems for JSON data sets, to retrieve and query data sets by means of a unique query language (independent of the specific storage technology), by exploiting possibly-remote computational resources (such as cloud servers), comfortably working on their PC in their office, more or less unaware of real location of resources. In this paper, we present the current state of the J-CO Framework, a platform-independent and analyst-oriented software framework to manipulate and cross-analyze possibly geo-tagged JSON data sets. The paper presents the general approach behind the Framework, by illustrating J-CO the query language by means of a simple, yet non-trivial, example of geographical cross-analysis. The paper also presents the novel features introduced by the re-engineered version of the execution Citation: Psaila, G.; Fosci, P.

Its popularity heterogeneous, and nested collections of JSON objects built on top can be explained by its concise syntax, its ability to be read and of Apache Spark. While data sets of this type are more and more written easily by both humans and machines, and its simple, yet wide-spread, most existing tools are built around a tabular data flexible data model. Thanks to its wide support by programming model, creating an impedance mismatch for both the engine and languages and tools, JSON is often used to share data sets between the query interface. In contrast, Rumble uses JSONiq, a standard- users or systems. Furthermore, data is often first produced in JSON, ized language specifically designed for querying JSON documents. for example, as messages between system components or as trace The key challenge in the design and implementation of Rumble is events, where its simplicity and flexibility require a very low initial mapping the recursive structure of JSON documents and JSONiq development effort. queries onto Spark’s execution primitives based on tabular data However, the simplicity of creating JSON data on the fly often frames.

In order to make querying more efficient, Rumble is an engine that au- tomatically runs queries on top of Spark, using JSONiq as declarative querying language instead of Spark API. Rumble is still in its beta ver- sion and requires a testing mechanism that would verify the behavior of its implementation. JSONiq inherits 95% of its features from XQuery, its XML counterpart. QT3TS is Test Suite with over 30000 test cases designed for testing XQuery. This work aims to create a Test Suite based on QT3TS to verify Rumble’s implementation. As the first step, we have implemented a Test Driver capable of executing QT3TS on top of Rum- ble. The work was carried out gradually through several phases. In each phase, we were improving the implementation of both Test Driver and Rumble. Secondly, we have implemented a Test Converter for the XQuery to JSONiq conversion.

  • Introduction to Jsoniq
    JSONiq 0.1 Introduction to JSONiq The SQL of NoSQL Ghislain Fourny Introduction to JSONiq JSONiq 0.1 Introduction to JSONiq The SQL of NoSQL Edition 0 Author Ghislain Fourny JSONiq is a query and processing language specifically designed for the popular JSON data mod- el. The main ideas behind JSONiq are based on lessons learned in more than 30 years of relation- al query systems and more than 15 years of experience with designing and implementing query lan- guages for semi-structured data. As a result, JSONiq is an expressive and highly optimizable lan- guage to query and update any kind of JSONiq store or resource. It enables developers to leverage the same productive high-level language across a variety of NoSQL products. This book gives a com- plete introduction to the JSONiq language. It does so by giving examples for all types of expressions and functions. Those examples can be immediately used because they work standalone, which allows the interested reader to start diving into the language. 1. Introduction 1 1.1.

  • An Approach for Unified and Efficient Querying of Heterogeneous Web Data Sources
    UniQue: An Approach for Unified and Efficient Querying of Heterogeneous Web Data Sources Markku Laine, Jari Kleimola and Petri Vuorimaa Department of Computer Science, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland Keywords: Mashup Applications, Web Querying, Web Standards, XML Technologies. Abstract: Governments, organizations, and people are publishing open data on the Web more than ever before. To consume the data, however, requires substantial effort from web mashup developers, as they have to familiarize themselves with a diversity of data formats and query techniques specific to each data source. While several solutions have been proposed to improve web querying, none of them covers aforementioned aspects in a developer friendly and efficient manner. Therefore, we devised a unified querying (UniQue) approach and a proxy-based implementation that provides a uniform and declarative interface for querying heterogeneous data sources across the Web. Besides hiding the differences between the underlying data formats and query techniques, UniQue heavily embraces open W3C standards to minimize the learning effort required by developers. Pursuing this further, we propose Unified Query Language (UQL) that combines the expressiveness of CSS Selectors and XPath into a single and flexible selector language. We show that the adoption of UniQue and UQL can effectively streamline web querying, leverage developers’ existing knowledge, and reduce generated network traffic compared to the current state-of-the-art approach. 1 INTRODUCTION as a solution to uniform data access, they are not broadly adopted due to their inherent complexity and Traditional database experts rely on well-defined unfamiliarity among developers. Indeed, the data formats and query language APIs. The query majority of web data providers are still relying on API, such as SQL, provides precisely focused access more mainstream data formats and developers on to the data.
